If you're due in November 2015, well here's your ante natal club! Come and talk about vomit inducing man-scents, cheese roasties you simply cannot do without/or stand, the picked ice cream you must have right now, and the bubbling desire to tell the world but checking dates to restrain yourself!

Am so surprised at how fast the thread runs along. So sorry about your loss Halestone.

IM pretty nervous about my diminishing symptoms, looking forward to my early scan on Friday but scared all the same. Is anyone else the same?

Jucymyname · 03/04/2015 22:51

How do you organise early scan? Do you go private? Let's stay positive. Midwife told me that you haven't got any influence over what's going to happen. It doesn't mean that I'm less anxious. I'm like most of us here - want to sleep until my 12 week scan...
So goodnight for now, until tomorrow!

BlueBananas · 03/04/2015 23:23

Welcome Guy and congratulations! Twins, how exciting!!

Amanda congratulations on a healthy scan!

Well I went out tonight with people who don't know (well nobody knows!) so I had to take my sickness bands off and I feel absolutely fine! I may be the lucky one and have skipped the MS Easter Grin

HeirToTheIronThrone · 03/04/2015 23:27

We told the most of the family today - I had lunch with my DM and DB and his wife and DC so it seemed a good chance to tell them as we don't see each other very often. DH then rang his siblings as it didn't seem fair that mine knew and his didn't :) That's is for now I think, one other couple knows as they are also pregnant so we're being baby buddies! I'll do work and Facebook after my scan on 12 May - but that seems so very long away!

S1mmy · 03/04/2015 23:36

after my 1st miscarriage, my Drs booked me in for an early scan at 7 weeks for my 2nd pregnancy. We saw a healthy heartbeat and unfortunately lost the baby at 12 weeks, the day befor my 12 wk scan.

I've now an early scan booked in at the epu for my 3rd pregnancy, referred by my Drs, so not private. But the amount I am worrying don't be surprised I start going!

sophiaslullaby · 04/04/2015 08:51

Amandamae popping to town today, I will have a look in Boots for that Fybogel.
And great news about your scan Grin, it's becoming more real now we're all nearly the 12 week scan mark but like other ladies had mentioned I am nervous about it, more than I let on to DH as he's like a kid at Christmas, wondering why I'm not smiling all the way through this.
Happy thoughts to everyone and hope today is fairly MS free! (wishes)

Morning All. I've not posted for a while and have been trying to catch up with what has been going on. Hi to all the newbies and sorry to those that have had a loss.

I had been having pretty much constant nausea which only eased when I ate something (which had to be unhealthy - never before ate cake for breakfast, but really enjoyed it!). I had acupuncture on Monday evening to see if it would help and I'm please to say it did. The nausea left as I drove home and has yet to return. It was the best £35 I have spent in ages. Still fancy the unhealthy foods, but am able to eat the healthy stuff without an issue. Just thought I would mention it in case anyone suffering with MS wants to give it a go.

Crumbelina · 04/04/2015 09:05

Lovely to hear from you Amanda and great news on your scan!! Smile

11 weeks today - only one more week until my own scan. Feeling a bit nervous already!

Feels a bit like the nausea is dying down. Please, please let it be going for good! We've got a full on shopping day planned (West, Central and then East London) and I really need to feel ok. Hope everyone has a fab day!

cryingbabymess · 04/04/2015 09:18

Morning all!

I'm feeling awful today! I did my neck in yesterday so had a crap sleep along with a weird dream then today MS is back with a vengeance! Currently still lying flat on my back not being able to move and getting DP to make me some toast!

DP doesn't understand the struggle which annoys me! Just spent the last half hour arguing with him about it! Hmm

AmandaMae · 04/04/2015 10:41

orangebud you inspired me to book an acupuncture session! Got to wait till Tuesday but fingers crossed. I really need to get back to work. Don't want to but need to.

We're going to friends for lunch - no idea what there will be to eat, but will do my best. I will take my vomit bags with me...

Have a great day everyone. Xx

orangebud · 04/04/2015 10:46

Good luck AmandaMae. I hope it works for you! I'm just hoping it last for a good while - my next appointment isn't until the end of April.

roughtyping · 04/04/2015 11:14

Glad it worked orangebud. My mum's had acupuncture before, can't remember why though! She loved it.

Really not coping with my anxiety today. I just feel like it's a foregone conclusion that something bad will happen. Going to go and distract myself.

Mamama31 · 04/04/2015 11:42

Roughtyping keep yourself busy! I have had a week of anxiety and it is so upsetting. Today I am going out with a friend to distract myself as I'm really not helping myself sitting worrying and wondering what's going to happen. It's so hard though I know!

Unthoughtknown · 04/04/2015 12:15

Welcome to all the new ladies.

Woke up this morning feeling sick, craving toast and marmite. Went downstairs and we were out of bread - gaah. Ended up eating a packet of French fries in bed and waking dp with the crunching.

Frescoed · 04/04/2015 12:58

Reading about food on this thread just makes me feel hungry for bad things.
Mmmmmm.......french fries

cryingbabymess · 04/04/2015 13:04

I just can't seem to feel better today! Confused Just got my DP to make something for me to eat had a bite and he's now eating it! Can't shake the feeling of being sick. Was sick in the shower this morning! Had to phone in sick to work tonight! Got roped in to working tomorrow instead! ShockHmm

Any help appreciated, I'm hungry! ??

TakesTwoToTango · 04/04/2015 13:11

Morning all. Glad the nausea seems to be settling for some of you. I felt dreadful yest and had a really upset tummy too . Third time this pg. anyone else having this?

BlueBananas · 04/04/2015 13:22

Well this exhaustion has wiped me out today, I really want to sort the house out (it's disgusting!) but just the thought of trying to clean or tidy makes me want to cry! In fact the thought of even speaking is making me want to cry!
I'm back in bed now, I give up with the day Easter Sad

Oh Focus, that sounds pretty horrible, poor you and others feeling really sick.

I think I've got off lightly with an occasional bit of nausea, not sure if the lack of symptoms is something I should worry about instead? Doesn't sound like something I should be hoping for though...

Hope you all find something that you can keep down.

CuntCourtIsInSession · 04/04/2015 14:52

Oh focus, that sounds awful! I think I've got off lightly too, Frescoed I've got nausea but nothing that isn't easily enough dealt with by eating have already put on three pounds and I haven't gone off anything too badly. Although I am pretty sure this foetus is a vegetarian even though I'm not! Grin

Counting the hours now till my booking appointment on Tuesday. Am very worried that I'm about to unleash a frenzy of consultants upon myself because of my pre-existing conditions, which I am not looking forward to. Also. I'm 40 and feeling massive dread about all the screening and testing. There is still just so much that can go wrong. Every morning I mentally tick off another day: 8+5 now...

annatha · 04/04/2015 14:59

Another one in the sick bay here, there must be something in the air. I've got no energy at all and I've taken to hanging out upstairs because running upstairs to be sick tires me out. Desperate for a nap but dd is wide awake (and probably bored silly because mummy's knackered).

I think carby proteiney stuff is suiting me. My taste buds have gone so everything tastes like crap. But just had plain white rice with a bit of john west tuna mixed in, and shhh....I haven't vomited.

cryingbabymess · 04/04/2015 16:24

I've just sent my DP to the shop for super noodles and I know he won't be able to get any from the shop as we live in the middle of nowhere and the shops rubbish! Hmm

Starting to feel a bit better after nibbling on a ginger biscuit....I don't like ginger biscuits!

sophiaslullaby · 04/04/2015 17:48

Noodles do seem to be the way forward. Poundland do snack in a mug noodles, 3 for a £1. I've stocked up on them for work. I normally hate instant meals but they're quick to make and just enough to curb hunger and keep nausea away.

Focus did the rice and tuna make you feel better?
